Valeria was thinking to herself when Thomas sent her a message. “Valeria, I’m sorry about what happened just now. I’m apologizing on behalf of Evelyn!”
“Mr. Gurney, what do you mean by this?” Valeria asked.
“Evelyn was just spouting a lot of inappropriate nonsense. She has been abroad for a long time, so she has a completely different behaviour from us and she doesn’t care much about others. Don’t take it to heart.”
Valeria frowned. How could a person who lived abroad develop such an unscrupulous personality and flirt with someone else’s husband in front of them? Was this something a dignified person would do?
She asked unhappily, “Mr. Gurney, what’s the relationship between you and Miss Gurney?”
“She’s my younger sister. I was adopted by the Gurney family. She’s the heiress of my family, but we’re not related by blood.” Thomas could feel Valeria’s displeasure. “Valeria, Evelyn drank too much tonight and she doesn’t make sense when she’s drunk. Please don’t take her words to heart.”
Evelyn didn’t look like she had drunk too much, but Thomas was so sincere. Valeria couldn’t ignore him when she thought of what a good person he was. “I didn’t take it to heart.”
William glanced at Valeria’s chat with Thomas and sneered. “Thomas is really willing to do anything for Evelyn and he even apologized in person. He really deserves to be the son-in-law of the Gurney family.”
Valeria looked at William and asked, “What do you mean?”
William replied slowly, “I heard that the Gurney family values Thomas’ talent very much and they intend to let him develop the Gurney family business.”
“Isn’t Thomas doing very well in my uncle’s company? Why would he want to go back?”
“The Gurney family wants him to go back and help because they realized how much potential he has. They would naturally ignore him if he is not capable.”
“Will Thomas go back to work in his family? Besides, my uncle will lose a capable compatriot if he leaves. Won’t this be a great loss for the Floyd family?”
“I don’t know. After all, I am not in Thomas’ shoes. The conditions of the Gurney family will definitely be attractive. Besides having a high reward, he will also get a beautiful wife. He will soon become a real member of the Gurney family if he agrees to their terms. I would certainly hesitate if I were him.”
Valeria exclaimed when she heard William’s words, “Is the Gurney family going to let Evelyn marry Thomas? That’s too…”
“What? Don’t rich families do this often? This is a good opportunity for Thomas, isn’t it?” William squinted at Valeria.
William had a point, but Valeria didn’t like Evelyn because she felt that the latter was not good enough for Thomas.
Valeria was not happy when she saw that William was already aware of this matter. She glared at William and asked, “Why are you so clear about these things?”
“I’m in the business industry, so I have to know about everything to prevent others from plotting against me.”
“Tsk!” Valeria wanted to ask if it was because he was concerned about Evelyn. However, she swallowed her words when she saw the Howard family home. Hayden and Lucas were standing at the gate with their hands clasped behind their backs.
Fadrey and Braelynn went to the theatre to watch an opera. A famous opera singer was performing on stage, but Braelynn frowned and looked worried.
Did Paisley notice anything when she bumped into Braelynn and Fandrey?
Paisley was so vicious. Wouldn’t it affect William’s plan if she noticed that something was wrong?
Braelynn had to inform William about this matter. When she looked at Fandrey with a heavy heart, he turned his head and asked her kindly, “What’s wrong?”
“We just met Paisley… Would she have noticed something?”
“Don’t worry, Paisley can’t cause much harm.”
“She has a special relationship with Ornard, so you’d better tell my brother,” Braelynn reminded him.
“All right! I’ll talk to William. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
Fandrey wanted to send Braelynn home after they watched the performance, but she refused. “We’d better stay away from each other in the future, lest we cause some unnecessary trouble.”
Braelynn added when she saw the disappointment on Fandrey’s face, “We’ll meet again when things are over.”
Fandrey couldn’t say anything else, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.
Fandrey sighed and got into his own car when he watched as Braelynn drove away. “It may not be easy to see my granddaughter in the future!”
Sammuel smiled and said when he saw how upset Fandrey was, “You can ask William and Valeria to bring Braelynn out. This way, no one will suspect us.”
“How can I bother William and Valeria every day? William is so busy and Valeria is pregnant. I can’t count on them to do this.” William sent him a message as soon as he said that.
“Grandpa, Azalea’s problem has been solved. I’ll send you the video and recording of her and Oscar, so you can hand them over to Grandma. I don’t think Grandma will take her out in the future after she sees the video.”
“You’ve worked hard!” Fandrey was extremely satisfied. “William, I met that Paisley when I was having dinner with Braelynn today. Braelynn is worried that Paisley will notice something. Do you think we should deal with this matter?”
“Paisley was meeting Gurmisran. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be suspicious, but it’s best to be careful and you should try to meet Braelynn less.”
Fandrey had no choice but to agree. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Fandrey’s car stopped at the gate of the Floyd family’s villa more than 40 minutes later. Azalea heard the sound of the car upstairs and guessed that either Callum or Fandrey had returned. She had gotten on Deborah’s bad side, so she had to gain some favour from Fandrey and Callum.
Azalea immediately opened the door and hurried out to welcome them.
Fandrey got out of the car with his hands clasped behind his back as he walked in with Sammuel. Azalea bumped into Fandrey in the courtyard as she rushed out. Azalea had a bright smile on her face as she tried to please him. “Grandpa, you’re back!”
Fandrey stopped and looked at Azalea coldly. “Who told you to call me grandpa? Do you know how many people would gossip in the Floyd family? Are you in your right mind?”
“I… I…” Azalea blushed after being scolded. She knew that Fandrey didn’t like her very much, but she didn’t expect him to have such a nasty attitude.
Azalea guessed that Deborah had told Fandrey about her humiliating incident about tonight when she looked at his expression.
She blushed and said pitifully, “I’m sorry!”
Fandrey ignored her act and said in a cold voice, “Remember to call me ‘Sir’ in the future!”
He ignored Azalea after that and strode straight to the living room while her face was flushed red. Luckily, there were no other servants besides Sammuel around. Otherwise, how could she get away with her actions?
